Abstract

Why do some group members participate in meetings while others do not? This article investigates several influences upon electronic meeting participation including peer pressure, the desire to persuade others, past history with electronic chat rooms, etc. A study using three groups of students (sizes 10, 26 and 34) using electronic gallery writing showed that, surprisingly, there were differences among the groups in the participants' attitude toward the meeting process, preference for reading comments and perceived ability to persuade others during a meeting. Those who liked expressing their thoughts tended to generate more relevant and overall comments. Students who typed comments for entertainment purposes generated more overall comments, but they were generally not relevant to the topic.
